It's easy to consume too much carb. Carb provides energy but too much causes insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome (with high blood pressure & high cholesterol), type 2 diabetes, obesity, inflammation and difficulty fighting off infection. Inflammation plays a key role in inflammatory diseases such as osteoarthritis and heart and circulatory disease and is implicated in mental health disorders including depression and dementia. A variety of cancers are also associated with metabolic syndrome. This app will help you control your carb consumption.
The app will guide you to set your target daily carb intake based on your chosen calorie intake (or the default based on your age and sex) and the percentage of calorie intake you wish to be provided by carb. Both calorie and carb targets can be changed at any time. See App Preview 1.
Synchronize the app (on the Settings screen) if you have other First Line Medical communications nutrient counters (eg in an app bundle) so you only need to record your food and beverage intake once and it will be shared with all apps. Record your food and beverage intake using the barcode scanner, speech recognition, by favoriting foods, or by using search function and use the serving sizes provided (mainly those suggested by USDA Food Data Central) or change to your serving size. Your progress towards your target daily intake will be visible immediately in real-time. You can also view your progress over time on the Month view dashboard, and export food diaries and carb intake into a spreadsheet for your own information or to share with healthcare providers.
Apple's HealthKit functionality is integrated in the app's user interface so you can share data with Apple's Health app by tapping the Share button on the Settings screen (see screenshot 1).
The app is curated and contains 325+ common (mainly healthy) foods and drinks and you can add your own branded and other foods and recipes at any time using the barcode scanner, voice recognition or the keyboard (see App Preview 2). This means that provided you add your barcoded foods to the app via the "Add food" tab the app can function without access to the Internet (it will need access to the internet and OpenFoodFacts.org if a barcode is not in the app's database).
Also useful nutritional information via the Info tab (see App Preview 3).
The interface is intuitive to navigate, but you may find it useful to familiarise yourself with the full functionality of the app by touching the icons, words, and bars on every screen and swiping left and right on the Tracker screen.
